The Secret Agent
by Joseph Conrad
A book with very topical themes, particularly terrorism.
Unfortunately, most readers found the book difficult to access and did not complete the book.
A difficulty perhaps part explained by the fact that Conrad was not writing in his mother tongue.

Webmaster's comments
1) Those that enjoyed the book did access video material before reading, possibly making it more accessible.
2) Unusually our star rating (***) differs from Goodreads where the book was given 3.59 stars averaged over 15,000 readers.
